Frequently Asked Verification Questions
Why are residential street addresses withheld on some contractor records?
Many independent master tradespeople register their state license to a private home address. To protect residential privacy while preserving public accountability, HomeCrafto withholds private street numbers and displays the verified service city and license number.
How does the 3-listing quality gate work for local trade categories?
A city or trade specialty page only opens when at least 3 distinct, license-verified contractors pass our ingest validation gate. We never pad thin pages with synthetic listings.
Is HomeCrafto a pay-per-lead contractor marketplace?
No. Unlike lead aggregators that sell your phone number to 4–6 competing contractors, HomeCrafto never resells homeowner inquiries. You can copy a project brief yourself or send a 1-Click Direct Quote Request to a single chosen contractor.
Can contractors pay to appear first in search results?
No. Search order is never for sale. Listings are sorted transparently by proximity or alphabetical order, with zero sponsored overrides.
